      Interpretation of Juliet and the Devil

      Giulietta's relationship with her husband suddenly became estranged. She began to suspect that her husband had lost his love and suffered from depression. Visions often appeared in front of her eyes. As a result, things were as expected. Giulietta almost collapsed, and even had thoughts of suicide. Giulietta shattered not only the desire for marriage, but also the questioning of life. It seems that the only thing people can control is their own life.

      colorful world

      What the human eye sees is limited and the imagination is unlimited. The reason why the dream is attractive is because of her confusion, she can never grasp it. Sometimes I am overjoyed because I have a very beautiful dream. But hallucinations are not the same. This movie is not going in the direction of panic, and it is the phantom that disappears at the end that makes me gasp.
      Giulia's realistic house is a very peaceful beige. In the fantasy world, stained glass, bright transparent...

      Cowardice is the fear of freedom

      "Every sane person has more or less longed for the death of the one he loves," Camus said in "The Stranger".

      In the second half of the film, [a psychiatrist from the United States] said that Juliet actually longed to leave her husband. Juliet was shocked and puzzled, and Camus's words immediately came to my mind.

      The nature of human beings is both selfish and mean. Whether it is out of possessiveness or a desire for freedom,...

      "Eight and a half" for Masina

      Female characters have always been an important element in Fellini's films. "Juliet and the Devil" is Fellini's first full-length color film in which he sees the world from a female perspective. It incorporates almost all the elements of Fellini's dream films: psychoanalysis, female characters, vagueness and reality, and stream-of-consciousness style. Rather than saying that Giulietta Masina is the absolute protagonist of the film, it is better to say that the film is made for...

      Fellini and the film

      After watching this movie, the dreamy performance of the movie is presented to us under the director of the master. Compared with the "eight and a half" directed by him, it is no worse than his own. He has always liked his movies very much, like him The "Swinger" and "The Great Road" are all top-notch movies he has seen. For him, the movies are his favorite circus.
      There is a movie I don't know if you've seen it, "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" was filmed in Hong Kong. I also like...

      NO.11 The rumored "female version of the eight-and-a-half" is neither female nor eight-and-a-half. This pretense from the English translation of Juliet of the Spirits is enough to see the clue. The heroine Juliet was supposed to be the subject of the speech, but Fellini imagined it. She is like the illiterate maid in the "Grim Ritual", suffering from aphasia, deprived of the right to interpret, and still the spoken other. Male filmmakers are known to the public for their directorships and...

      The most detailed description describes the story of a bourgeois woman who was deceived by her husband, lost her mind, fell into bizarre hallucinations, and finally woke up. It's easy for a movie like this to make you suddenly confused and sleepy, as if you were in a dream woven by...

      After the eight-and-a-half-part creative crisis, Fellini seemed to have broken free from the shackles. Nothing could restrain him. The elements of the film such as sound, light, time, and space were controlled by Fellini freely. Reality and surrealism, Memory and imagination are intertwined, weaving a dream-like world. In fact, this is the eight-and-a-half female...

      Also a middle-class noblewoman, Catherine Deneuve is bold in her restrained behavior; Juliet Masina is very restrained in her colorful behavior. The comparison between the two is...

      Fellini's first color film is like a large-scale fashion show, cruising between reality and reality (the way it is handled is somewhat similar to Buñuel's), and it's gorgeous (dazzling) like a kaleidoscope....

    Evaluation action

    The film describes in great detail the story of a bourgeois woman who was deceived by her husband, lost her mind, fell into bizarre hallucinations, and finally woke up. The content of the film is full of mysterious phenomena such as psychics and ghosts, and there are also a lot of illusions, dreams, memories and other techniques that Fellini is good at, so it has a style of mysticism and surrealism. The film's description of the...

      Giulietta Boldrini: No. What stockings?

      Giulietta Boldrini: Is love a "job"?

      Bhisma: I didn't say "job." I said "the art of love."

    • Bhisma: Sangria, it quenches the thirst of those who drink it. It quenches our secret thirsts too. They call it the potion of oblivion.

    • Giorgio's friend: Rosa Aurata. A name like poetry. I used to grow them, too. My garden in Cordoba was famous. You're very lucky. Flowers are grateful when loved. These plants get lots of love. It shows. You must be a very loving person to give so much every day.
